Michigan - Saginaw County | And then there is the "proctologist"
******************************************
True story:
I was assigned to the general surgery service for 3 months. While there were several proctologist/surgeons on the staff, the big name Proctologist in the area was a short, blunt, combative personality, who was also the Chief of Surgery, He took a liking to me and said, while you are on this rotation you are MY assistant so don't you go off with anyone else.. So I spent a lot of time with him.
We are sitting in the surgeons lounge at 10PM, bleary eyed after a 15 hour day, and waiting on the surgery team to finish prepping an auto accident who needed his bowl/anus put back together.
In comes his 18 year old son who wants cash to order pizza and beer for a bunch of his buddies back at the house, having a pool party.
In the midst of a lively discussion over this the kid says, "By the way pops, stop telling my friends you are Proctologist, It's embarrassing me. Just say you are a Surgeon.
In a heartbeat, dad had him nose-to-nose.
"Listen you. I spend 12 hours a day with my nose 2 inches from a bunch of assholes. That is what paid for your private school. That is what is paying for your first year at Harvard this fall. That is what paid for the new Camaro SS you are driving. And for the swimming pool you and your buddies are messing up right now. I'm a proctologist and don't you forget it." |
